1 Jesus, our triumphant Head,
Risen victorious from the dead,
To the realms of glory's gone,
To ascend His rightful throne.
2 Cherubs on the Conquerer gaze,
Seraphs glow with brighter blaze
Each bright order of the sky
Hail Him as He passes by!
3 Heaven its King congratulates,
Opens wide her golden gates:
Angels songs of victory bring;
All the blissful regions ring.
4 Sinners, join the heavenly powers,
For redemption all is ours:
Humble penitents shall prove,
Blood-bought pardon, dying love.
5 Hail! Thou dear, Thou worthy Lord!
Holy Lamb! incarnate Word!
Hail! Thou suffering Son of God!
Take the trophies of Thy blood.
